Eight of us recently went to Shiro with two kids to celebrate a birthday. I used to love Shiro for its ambiance and good sushi. Since a table wasn't available when I called, I was promised of a table later in the evening , by the usher. We were seated in the mezzanine level in a cramped couch. We were mostly shuttling between our table and the bar level. On asking one Mr. Ashley for our table, he very rudely retorted that since he didn't promise us a table it wasn't his job to get us one. To my further annoyance he walked up to me and demanded to know why our dinner was served and we weren't eating yet. I was shocked. He kept claiming that he did us a favor by letting us in since there were two small kids. Appreciate that, but come on; did us a favor ?!? When you go to a fine dining place and an upmarket club where you have to shell out top dollars , you at least expect the staff to be decent. Shiro must quickly deal with the likes of Mr. Ashley, before more loyalties change. After all Bangalore does have several fine places to indulge. I for one, will never venture back again.
